CPI(M) leader Biplab Deb said the Bharatiya Janata Party is poised to win every seat in the upcoming Tripura civic elections, adding that the Communist Party of India (Marxist) is unlikely to secure any.
Tripura's municipal elections are set to be contested later this month, and CPI(M) senior leader Biplab Deb has publicly forecast a clean sweep for the Bharatiya Janata Party. Deb asserted that the BJP's organisational strength and recent governance record will translate into victories across all wards, leaving no room for the opposition.
The CPI(M) veteran emphasized that the Communist Party of India (Marxist) is unlikely to win a single seat, citing internal challenges and a perceived disconnect with urban voters. He urged party cadres to focus on rebuilding grassroots support ahead of the polls.
Election officials have confirmed that voting will take place in multiple municipalities, including Agartala, under the supervision of the State Election Commission. While the BJP has campaigned aggressively, the CPI(M) remains cautious, awaiting the final count to assess its performance.
Analysts note that Deb's prediction reflects broader trends in the state's political landscape, where the BJP has made significant inroads over the past few years. The outcome of these civic polls could further reshape Tripura's local governance dynamics.
